My favourite language. Started with a ZX Spectrum, then did GW BASIC at school. My first job (1990) was maintaining Thoroughbred BASIC apps. Now using Visual Basic for the biggest project I've ever worked on (https://www.wittenburg.co.uk/Entry.aspx?id=0a505400-5bf6-4a6d-b107-6b4b797f33ae https://www.wittenburg.co.uk/Entry.aspx?id=0a505400-5bf6-4a6... ). In the years this project has been going I've written over 500 KLOC of VB.NET code. The current desktop app (third re-write, only about halfway done) clocks in at 40 KLOC of VB.NET code. No libraries. Just Visual Basic and the .NET framework.
